2017 VW Passat Alltrack – Video

 

As one would expect of even a niche vehicle in Germany, VW offers five engines: two gas-fired fours (148 and 217 hp) and three diesel fours (148, 187, and 237 hp). The base engines can be had with a six-speed manual, but a six-speed dual-clutch automatic is mandatory for the rest. The Haldex-based AWD system works in concert with VW’s XDS+ electronic brake-based torque vectoring in the most powerful gas and diesel cars.
